Torana COME-1

[lpgas1]

in the words of the late Graeme Kennedy....... faaaaaarrrrrrrrkkkkkkkk!

that is one fast car!

[greekaliti]

Was this the car Shane rolled or was it the blue one tonner, which ever it was the roll cage worked :)

[comeracing]

No it wasn't. That 1st one was a 4 door. You are right about the roll cage though, it saved baldy's ass.

[tommyroo7]

pity the sreet engines they falsely advertise dont have half the power they say they do. maybe they do on their in house dyno,but just not on any 1 elses!

[comeracing]

"half the power?" That's funny, you're the first one in over 30 years to make that ridiculous claim.

[ANYFUKINNAMESLEFT]

@tommyroo7

I bet you drive a V6 with a CAI and "chip" ,By the way, CAI means Cold Air Intake or does it also have 10mm leads hahahahaha

Best kits in Aus bar none

[ti1355]

[vrvsvt]

i wish my come v6 went like that

[holdengrp3]

Its got some Nuts

[zuess27]

didnt this thing die???

[comeracing]

COME 1 version # 1 was totalled in '91 at the Calder Park Drag Nationals of that year. This car was built to replace it in '93 and went on to hold the Australian Super Sedan SS/A record till 2003. It is still ALIVE and very, very strong.

[zuess27]

[comeracing]

[meth400]

bloody awsome!!!!!!! i run your old white lj guys......runs 9.2's at wsid.t6he old '494 ss/aa. hope to post some incar runs soon.

[comeracing]

That white LJ has a real history. I bought the car brand new in 1973. Fitted 308 in '75 for the street...13.0's on street tyres. Fitted 400 Small Block and N2O in '78...10.29 @138. Became full time race car in '82 with BB Chev running mid 9's. Then we sold it. Good luck with it. Always been a great car.

Sam

[meth400]

thanks sam,ive had it for about 4 years now,bought it of a guy in nowra(nsw) who bought it of sam fedele of S.A race transmissions,its been around lol. we run at wsid,best of 9.27@141 (SS/A) spends the first 60' hard up on the bars and all i see is sky! i lost the whole drivetrain while leading the track championship last year,shattered the glide and broke the shaft.rebuilding with dedanbear case and all 1350 cromoly stuff.still runs the dana60 though!

[hsvboy72]

i remember when come1 first started like 10- 15 years ago and this machine is still an awsome machine to watch. well done fellas

[sloitz696]

mate that thing is a weapon..love it..comeracing all the way..

[SierraKilo9]

Sounds right on it = nice.

[jamfrank1975]

excellent... top stuff.... i run one of your steel cranks in my car 355... da best

[laurence265]

that's one awesome holden motor! glad to see a holden motor pulling great numbers rather than just going to a chev motor.... how much horsepower does that motor have?..is it Natrually Aspirated? or Nitrous?

[comeracing]

660 bhp normally aspirated. 890bhp on N2O We usually run it with a conservative hit of nitrous...about 820-840 bhp is usually seen in the mph result.

Sam

[markymark78]

there is something erotic about a V8 in a LC/LJ torrie. I guess the government stopped it back in the early 70's, so its the middle finger salute and a wheelstand to the government

[4huna]

:0 308,383,427 ??????

real import eta ,rice crusher...keepn it 8...only good thing that comein 2 liters is milk and ice cream!!!! :)

[comeracing]

Like that analogy...2 litre milk or ice cream. You are dead right.

Sam

[drfeelgood308]

LJ torana...bblock chev...ahhh what a combo :)

[comeracing]

Sorry to dissappoint but it's a Holden 383 in the Torana for these runs. The BB Chev was removed in 1995. Must admit that doing 8.20 @167 with a normally aspirated BB was a lot of fun back then.

Sam

[drfeelgood308]

sorry Sam...no dissapoint here as a huge fan of the local bent 8! U guys rock...have run one of ur 355 bracketmaster engines in the past...many shops can always quote big numbers, but u guys deliver on the track.Nuthin but praise 4 u guys,leaders in stroker cranks yrs ago & nowdays 4 everything!  cheers Andrew

[Nidal069]

you guys did some work for me in the early 90's lx hatch 350 11 secs, you guys are good, hats off

[Jakester32123]
